EA Sports Announces Tim Tebow as NCAA Football Cover Athlete

Share.

But did they use his new throwing motion or his old throwing motion?

EA Sports announced today that Tim Tebow will be gracing the cover of NCAA Football 11 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. The game launches on July 13 and features Tebow in his old uniform as a Florida Gator quarterback where he won one Heisman Trophy award, two Maxwell Awards (nation's top college football player), two national championships, and one Davey O'Brian Award (best college quarterback in the nation).

The EA Sports press release continued with, "NCAA Football 11 will give players 120 ways to win with real college offenses that, for the first time ever, reflect the authentic style of every NCAA FBS school. NCAA Football 11 recreates the intensity of college football Saturdays, achieving all-new levels of quality in core gameplay for the award-winning franchise."

That statement is expectedly vague when it comes to firm details about what to expect from the gameplay in NCAA Football 11. We expect to get much more in the way of concrete info at EA Sports' annual NFL Draft event. On a personal note, if I get the chance to interview Tim Tebow at the event I'll be sure to mention how much it hurt my feelings to watch him dismantle my Florida State Seminoles all those years.

NCAA Football 11 launches on July 13 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. Stay tuned to IGN for more.
